I just have a rule that I only drink in social situations. Since I only have enough real friends to count on a couple of hands that doesn't happen very often at my age, so it works for me. I never drink at home, I think that too easily leads to what I call "casual alcoholism" . You are not technically an alcoholic but you do it instead of more productive things like coding, playing video games, or (my) wood working hobby. Just sitting around drinking kills your liver and the rest of your health. Some few people seem to not really effected by it, but I have seen two early somethings get cirrhosis and that's kind of scarey. My papa pickled his liver for decades and it never happened and he died when he fell and hit his head at 89. I always felt science should study elderly like that to see why they don't get cirrhosis/lung cancer/kidney failure from 50-60 years of drinking/sugar abuse/etc.
